In Uganda‘s capital city, Kampala, the traffic police have shut down some roads so that important people can move easily to and from President Yoweri Museveni’s 79th birthday party on Friday.
About 100,000 people, including Ugandans from the capital and different areas of the country, attended the birthday celebrations.
The Traffic Police Commander in Kampala, Senior Superintendent Godwin Arinaitwe, stated on Thursday that if people can’t drive on the closed roads, they can park their cars at specific spots in Kampala and walk the remaining distance to the event location.
He also mentioned that the traffic police will guide Ugandans who are inconvenienced by the closed roads to different routes.
President Museveni‘s real birthday is on the 15th of September.
The young people from Mr Museveni’s political party, the National Resistance Movement, have planned the events for Friday.
On 2 September, the leaders of the city cleaned up Kampala and Kololo Independence Grounds. This was done to get ready for the birthday event happening there.
